WAVES

I created an interactive meditative art piece.  Soft tactile yarns were crocheted together to create “waves” of the ocean.  The waves were woven onto 18 gauge jewelry wire and attached to a metal frame.  The yarn can be manipulated along the wire from side to side, and each wire wave can be adjusted up, down, forward or back, thereby creating a constantly changing seascape.  It will sit on an easel next to a sound spa relaxation machine that plays the sound of ocean waves.

Earth, Air and Fire - The Mythology of My Life

Earth, our First Mother, from where we came and we will return. 

Air, the breath of life.

Fire, purifying and renewing life.

                 

I am an Air sign and those around me are Fire.

My life has been one of constantly surviving, as the Phoenix, rising again and again from the flames and ashes, to follow new paths. 

And still, in the midst, my Tree of Life has grown strong. 

A daughter and a son have been my gift, extreme happiness and legacy.
